Andrew's Monte Carlo

[Andrew230795]

So I've had my monte for a while now and theres a couple of things always bugged me about it so finally decided to start changing them. First of all ill start with what i did most recently. I purchased a MKII Fabia vRS back box from NathsvRS to fit to my monte. Had to cut off the existing backbox with a hacksaw   Old backbox vs New, its a perfect swap over Had to cut the bumper so made a template with some masking tape. This bit you can only do once so anyone planning on doing it tale as much time as you need marking out the cut and you won't go wrong The finished product, should've came like this from the factory to be honest

Looking good mate, glad you like it   However i have to disagree with the part where you say it should've come like that from factory, it's bad enough there's not much difference as it is between the VRS and Monte Carlo

ahaa yeah true! you've went a spent the extra for just a different engine and gearbox

Changed the interior lights to LED along with the number plate lights. Also have Cree sidelights and Phillips White vision but really liking the look of Mtecs that I've seen on here

Much better, need to get one for the boot and glove box

Way ahead of you Nath, got them all changed over including the boot and glovebox, got a full kit from eBay

Nice one Andrew.  Makes a big difference doesn't it? What's next?

[Andrew230795]

Yeah they're brilliant, the interior lights up the like the black pool tower at night  good thing you asked, today i fitted some of the new badges  Also, had these mats for a while but thought they'd be good for people to see, i got these made for the car but i think they a really nice touch to the interior, got them personalised with the Monte Carlo

I've sent and got some new bilstein shock absorbers so going to fit them near the end of June, wanted to get the eibach pro kit as well but my insurance wouldn't let me because I'm under 25 also going to paint the rear drums satin black and the front callipers red
